Dear Mark, Thank you for kindly allowing your time to put your kind suggestions. I am trying to rephrase my questions, as you might have asked it. (i) Suppose we have 8 which is 2^3 i.e., 3 is the power of 2, which we are writing in Python as, variable1=2 variable2=3 result=pow(variable1,variable2) In my first problem p(x) a list of float/decimals and f(x) is another such. Here, variable1=p(x) variable2=f(x) so that we can write, pow(variable1,variable2) but as it is a list not a number and as the size is huge, so would it pow support it? As I copied the question from word processor to the post, so there was a slight confusion. (ii) The second question is, if I have another set of variables, variable1=random.random() variable2=random.random() Now my question is, can I do result=variable1*variable2 Or should I do anything else? Best Regards, Subhabrata. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
